This atlas is amazing. How many ways can you slice and dice one state? Apparently quite a few. This book combines maps with pie charts, bar graphs, and other graphics to show the variations across regions within Oregon, and within the state over time. In addition to the typical topo maps, road maps,and geology maps one might expect, this book includes maps that show population growth patterns, rise and decline of various industries, income levels, etc.
